Foreign Television Channels are Destroying Our Culture

Hey people,

I want to make a point here that it is not the channel that matters, what matters most is the content. How can we ban & blame foreign channels if our own channels are not any less in terms of spoiling our culture. Can we appreciate songs of sunny leone, honey singh & bhojpuri dances? Are they a part of our culture? Absolutely not. So we should first check out ourselves before blaming others.

The second lies in our conservative mentality and due to this the one who suffers the most are our children. From the day he/she is born we start planning & saving for their studies in America and here we are talking of banning foreign channels. Imagine them getting to Harvard the first day and being ragged up because our very cultured children simply can't adjust to this new world, the will feel like aliens and will die of inferiority complex.

In my view the whole world is like a village nowadays and we should try to respect the culture and thinking of all of them. And we should teach our child as well to respect all cultures. The more we restrict them the more we will lose them. So talk to them, tell them & be frank with them. Because remember, TV is not the only medium it is one of the mediums. Internet, magazines, friends are still there.

Hi friends,

According to me, foreign television channels are destroying our Indian culture, because if anyone watch any TV channel, they think that mentally I too change such heroin style. So easily the teenagers change, like their costumes, hair styles etc., this spoils our Indian culture.

The children also affected by foreign channel because now a days more number of children from their childhood watching some unwanted scene which is below their maturity level where they couldn't differentiate which is good or bad, so easily they are addicted, and forget our culture.

Now a days children and youngsters are very important in any developing nation. If youngster and children easily change, then how will they develop their country. Finally foreign culture is destroying our Indian culture.

Why only foreign channels? Any kind of inappropriate visuals or verbals should be banned like in internet, TV, songs, magazines etc. In order to discuss about so called "destroying our Indian culture" we should know what it really is. I can not mention his/her name, but what he/she written is unbelievable!

According to it wearing inappropriate clothes, keeping different hairstyles, having homosexual relationships are against Indian culture. It not at all matters what you are from outside. What really matters is what you are from inside. So, in a Nutshell I just want to tell you that banning anything is not going to change anything, unless we change ourselves.

I completely disagree with that foreign TV is destroying over. It is true very interesting serial, movie and documentary leaves its influence in memory. But It depends on a person how does he assume and react.

Because every type aspects are available around us. But it does not mean we follow all scenarios and implement in our life. Culture is art of living, it depends on you how do you make it better.

Well, I don't think so that foreign channel destroy our culture. There are lot of English channels and it depends on person's channel choice. If they want to improve their language - 2, this is the best way.

If we watch the Hollywood movies, BBC news channels we learn lot of things like how to talk, read, write and listen their language. I often watch these channels and I improve myself in language - 2.

Some channels who display discovery/invention/technology are not destroying our culture they improve our knowledge.

But some other channels who display homosexuality/other bad contents are certainly destroying our culture. Our eyes and ears are input device for our brain, the data that enters in brain will be surely affecting the person, we can't ignore that. And kids don't even know what to keep and what to discard.

Remember the topic of this GD was "whether foreign channels are destroying our culture" and not who else is responsible for this, so do not divert from the topic indeed some channels are responsible.

Guys you people done well. But, what I wanna say is foreign channels are just like tide. When it is coming before to us if we will be there we will be die. But if we move aside we will be safe. Just, like that if we watch any vulgar stuff it will disturb us. If we ignore it we will be safe. So, it is not channels mistake they have right to exhibit there culture. It's our fault of misusing it.

In TV channels serials are telecasting from Monday to Saturday from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm not only for the entertainment but also human being health are upset. I think so TV channels are destructing the Indian culture not only for this reason finally I want to say one the thing human beings are addicted towards serials more then news channels.

My opinion regarding these topic is that foreign TV channels are not destroying our culture it depends upon the viewers thought from these channels we can improve the communication skill, through these channels BBC, discovery, national geography we can get the information of other countries in few minutes we can understand there culture and various techniques they are using for agriculture.

As well as how they are doing the transportation of fruits various product coming from farm to get more benefit as in India almost 60% of people are farmer. So it depends upon the person which things should he take which should not. Another thing is that about the fashion TV through these we can gain how to wear dress for various function to look a good person.

A country where you prefer foreign brand, you watch Hollywood movies more than Bollywood, you speak and write a foreign language, you plan you holidays in foreign countries, you want job in foreign country, you prefer your baby to be born in foreign mean while you crave for every foreign thing, then what is the problem with foreign channel. At-least we get some sensible to watch on those channels.

And for the people who are talking about Indian culture, my question is what is your culture. Demand for dowry is your culture!, getting burnt by your mother-in-law is your culture!, not wearing jeans is your culture!, kissing in public is again your culture!, demanding for reservation is your culture! Come on!
